Project title:
Identification of Functional nAChR Variants in Mice
Agency: NIH (NIDA)
Principal Investigator: Jerry A. Stitzel
Period of Support: 7/01/01-3/31/05
Percent Effort: 40%
Amount: $700,000 (Total Direct Costs)
In this proposal, we will screen a large set of inbred mouse strains
for amino acid-altering polymorphisms in several nAChR subunit genes.
All identified variants will be assessed for pharmacological and functional
properties using electrophysiological techniques.
